Yes! We are accept written essays and social media content on pop culture, relationships, health and wellness, music and fashion, and internet culture, seen through a feminist lens. Read the guidelines carefully before submitting.
Pitches We Love to See: Got something to say? Our pitch inbox is always open! We’re on the lookout for deep dives into pop culture, niche personal essays on dating and relationships, smart takes on health and wellness, exciting photo shoots and breaking artists, and even musings on internet culture. Before pitching, please look at our past work to make sure your idea hasn’t already been covered. You can send us a finished piece, or a pitch – just be sure to include a short intro about yourself. All work must be unpublished and exclusive to Salty. If you’re submitting a completed piece, it should be between 800-1200 words and not published anywhere else. Just fill in the form below to get started! If you have an original photo shoot or video to pitch or submit, please submit here.
Pitches We Don’t Love to See:
- Self promotional pitches
- Explicit re-tellings of traumatic events, ever.
- Event coverage
- Academic papers
- Poetry
We encourage you to pitch more than once! If your pitch is approved, please understand that it may take weeks to get your piece into the editorial schedule because we have a part time team. While we are a small platform with an engaged following, we do not have the funding to pay contributors for publication on Salty. In fact, we still do not have the funding to cover a majority of our overheads costs. (Become a member and fuel our future!) We understand this may be a deal breaker for you. If not, and your pitch is approved, your story will be shared on our beautiful platforms and with the Salty community. The Salty newsletter goes out to 40,000 people! We think that’s pretty special.
